Background

Mochi is made from sweet rice that has been soaked, steamed, and pounded into a thick, chewy paste. It is then allowed to dry until firm enough to slice into the handy block-like pieces available at Japan Centre. Mochi can be grilled, pan-fried or boiled, and once it is cooked it becomes soft, chewy, and ready to enjoy. For a great range of delicious mochi items, take a look at Japan Centre's Mochi section.
